ppadilha said: He scored a ton of films. I see that he composed the music for a few of Os Trapalhões' movies. "Sete Homens Vivos Ou Mortos" and "O Bravo Guerreiro" look interesting.

The lawyer's comments "I think we both benefit" and "if we put our hands together" are very telling.

Above the clouds. Rest in peace, Cesar.

What a wild ride this was: Also saw this at the theater. I read about the incident it was based on, but I never saw the film before. Apparently it has been screened only a handful of times in the US: I cannot find the whole film on YT. I reall…

Portuguese is such a fascinating language.

Reminds me of the Kenyan music video character years ago: "Mekmende" (as in Clint Eastwood's "make my day" line from 'Sudden Impact'). Given the Chuck Norris-like meme's popularity, I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least one kid there with tha…

I just got back after spending four days in São Paulo, which is not enough. MoogMan, who used to post here years ago, accompanied me at a shopping center across the street from the Municipal Theater which has almost an entire second floor dedicate…

Stay strong. I remember what I went through with my father. I will give what I can.

ketan said: i've always imagined that it tastes like burnt gasoline. ?? It has flavor, but to give you an idea, buy a habanero at your local grocery store (it has the same ~100K Scoville level) and nibble it. It "creeps" on you. That's wha…

"Musical Massacre" was my shit when it first dropped. Never seen them live, unfortunately. LL on "Hot Ones": the parts where he reacts to Da Bomb (15:50) and explains "Pink Cookies" (20:00) were hilarious. While I understand that not everyone has a …

And "Magnum Force", too.

Thank you for everything. To paraphrase Sly's "Sing A Simple Song", we've all shared life's ups and downs. We had our laughs, had our disagreements, made friendships and shared knowledge. It sounds corny, but this place also helped me grow as a pers…

Speaking of forró, I went to see the restoration of this film but technical difficulties aborted the screening. At least I got a voucher. Here's a musical number from Marinês. Heavy drums for '57 (1:41)... Background story here: https://www.cap…

A majority of these are Christmas gifts. The first three Brazilian records are reissues, of course. I'm fortunate to have friends who are on my same wavelength. "Alan Parsons Project" is their "debut" (/Dr. Evil). Hummingbird is Bernard Purdie wit…

I saw the "Elis & Tom" doc yesterday, which I recommend. There were some simmering tensions between César Mariano (Elis' husband) and Tom. At one point Jobim lost his cool (?!?) and demanded that Claus be brought in the studio! I was listening…

Holy shit!

Forró made me appreciate the skill it takes to play the accordion.

And I thought temporarily losing my luggage at Jobim airport was a nightmare... He also produced George Benson's "Breezin'". "Gate Of Dreams" is an amazing record. It's very cinematic because it was originally set to a ballet. This led me look u…

GPT reminds me of a friend who knows a lot yet refuses to give binding opinions on even the most mundane topics. "Do I want chicken or beef? Well, let me give you a history lesson on the poultry and cattle industries...*fifteen minutes later*...but,…
